Description
Play of Lines, representing a new style of artistic expression in textile art, won Dora Jung the internationally renowned Grand Prix in the Milan Triennale in 1957. It opened many doors and Dora Jung’s name attracted interest in art & design circles around the world. Play of Lines, also presented by the Finnish state as an official gift to VIPs, is woven out of the thinnest and finest quality linen, Extra A, while all the other tablecloths are made out of quality A linen. Play of Lines was a classic at its birth and has represented Finnish arts and crafts abroad over several decades. ”Dora Jung’s Grand Prix will be the most important springboard to success and world fame for Finland”, claimed Mr Lombardo, an Italian cabinet minister at the award ceremony in 1958. ”The Play of Lines tablecloth combines exquisite artistic sense and an excellent technical weaving performance.” Ilmari Tapiovaara, 1957
Traceable natural materials
We love flax fibre, as it is a breathable and durable material – as well as one of the cleanest natural fibres in the world. Because we want our products to have long lifecycles, we pay special attention to the quality and production of our linen fibre: the Masters of Linen–certified warp and weft yarn we use is made of 100 % traceable European long staple flax. The yarns have been spun and dyed in the EU area according to the REACH regulations.
Did you know that the European cultivation of flax binds more than 300 000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions from the air per year?
Own transparent production
The most significant part of the production is done by the fourth generation of weavers in our own weaving mill in Lapua, Finland. We want to be responsible for the production of our products ourselves, starting from the yarn all the way to the finished product.
The product design, material purchases, loom programming and warping as well as the pre-work stages, weaving and fabric inspection are done in our own weaving mill in Lapua, Finland. The sewing is done in our subsidiary’s own sewing department in Kaunas, Lithuania, or in our own sewing department in Lapua. The product finishing is done in our finishing plant in Lapua, Finland.
Thanks to owning our production, we are able to design our products and processes so that our ecological footprint stays as small as possible.
